A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

I was invited to preview Bonefish Grill in Westwood, in the newly developed University Station. Bonefish opened on June 1 and offers a casual dining experience for those looking for fresh seafood. The restaurant has a great patio and a large bar area. We went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We were greeted by our waitress who promptly took our drink orders. The blackberry smash (non alcoholic) was a little on the sweet side, but tasty – light and fresh, perfect for the summer time.

The Bang Bang Shrimp, their signature appetizer, is crispy shrimp in a creamy, slightly spicy sauce. While we would have liked this dish better if it had less sauce, it was a nice way to start the meal.

The wagyu beef and ginger potstickers are pan seared with crispy onions, thai papers and soy sauce.

Blackened Baja Fish Tacos came in three warm tortillas, with mango salsa, lime crema + shredded lettuce. The tacos tasted really light and fresh – and the portion was so big that we took half of it home!

The wood grilled shrimp and scallops came with sugar snap peas and a side (upgraded to a deluxe side) of crab fried rice. The portion was just right on this dish and the seafood tasted really fresh.

The crab fried rice was tasty – I would have liked to have seen everything mixed together (instead of the crab and egg placed on top) but it went really well with the seafood grilled in the asian sauce.

The creme brûlée was served with whipped  cream and fresh berries. I love that first bite of creme brûlée, when your spoon breaks through the sugar and you get that crunch followed by the creamy custard.

Key lime pie with a pecan crust and served with a healthy amount of whipped cream. The crust on this was really tasty – and it was the perfect crust to pie filling ratio.

The service was good for only being open 5 days. Bonefish Grill would be a great place to come to have a girls night or to watch the game at the bar. It’s great if you have kids, as there were a lot of families
